BIG STRIDES IN HOME MAKING IN STATEJN 1917 Food Production and Conservation "Went Over Big" Says Christie's Report. LAFAYETTE, Ind.. Feb. 22. Tremendous strides In agriculture and home making were taken on Indiana farms in 1917. the sixth annual report of Prof. O. I. Christie, director of Agricultural Extension at Purdue university shows. The food production and conservation campaign "went over big" in the state, thanks to the quick work and valuable organization of the extension forces throughout the state. The Extension Department has charge of all farm and home demonstration work of the state done under the Joint direction of the agricultural college and of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The close of the year finds this organisation at the highest point of efficiency, and setting the pace for the entire country in this branch of endeavor. Following the plans of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, and with the aid of appropriations by Congress, the Extension Department placed an agricultural agent in twenty-five counties of the state during the past year.

When war was declared, the government asked that an agent be placed In every county by March 1, 1918, so as to Introduce better farming methods where they did not exist and thus in

crease food production. Sixty Indiana

counties have accepted agents and seven more counties have application on file for them. Special Emergency Demonstration Agents on the government pay roll have been placed in every county except four. In addition, twelve women demonstration agents to carry home to rural and city housewives the ideas of food conservation, have been placed in eight counties and four cities.

Breweries, selected on the principle of highest efficiency, are to take over the production of others that are to be shut down, and arc to pay the latter monetary compensation.

French Officer Said to

Have Started "Camouflage

PARIS, Feb. 22. "Camouflage," or the art of making a soldier look like a tree, a battery of artillery look like a clump of bushes, an army headquarters like l peaceable farm, and a village like a few acres of pasture land is now said to have been originated by Commandant Kopenhague of the French army. Experiments were made In October 1912, at the Camp of Avord, the object then In view being to render a troop of Infantry invisible to obtervebs In airplanes. The success then achieved did not establish the institution because the means employed were so cumbersome and expensive in execution. It was only after the first few months of the war that the painter's services were called Into play and canvas and paint as well as underbrush became useful adjuncts of the army.

THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT The grouch does not grow into happiness nor does the sneer help you to smile at trouble when It comes; neither has tasted the sweets of Sunny Street. The pearly gates swing open along highways of happiness; it Is here we find the sign-boards of hope, harmony and helpfulness. Sowing the seeds of kindness gives hope, therefore happiness; gathering the sheaves from the seed sowed is but the realizing of our hope Heaven harvested.

Issue Warning to Farmers to Examine All Seed LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 22. In"vestigations are under way to determine the source of rumors rife in many parts of the state to the effect that poisonous pollen has been, or will be, placed in small grain seed supplies by German plotters. The botanists at the Purdue Agricultural Experiment station do not take much

i stock in the rumors, yet they say that

smut or other disease germs might be mixed in seed stocks with disa&terous effects. Several serious plat diseases exist in Germany which are not found In this country, the botanists say, and it would be possible to introduce them in the way rumor says. While the investigations are proceeding warning has been issued that the diseases could not be detected on the seed by an ordinary examination and the only way to guard against the chance of infection is to treat the seed as it is treated for smut prevention under direction of the local county agricultural agents, or Purdue university. In buying seed oats this

spring the farmers are urged to take precautions and see that the proper treatment is given the seed before it ia put Into the ground. Drees neatly, but not lavishly. A bank pays a higher rate of interest

For Indiana State Senate A Member of the Sixty-Third and Sixty-Fourth General Assembly House of Representatives Indiana State Legislature 19031905 M. W. Yencer now makes his official announcement to the people of the Senatorial District with the following issue, with his personal record of the 63 and 64 General Assemly of the Indiana State Legislature. The first issue, he presents to you is his Navy Policy of the House Concurrent Resolution, which he presented to the Indiana State Legislature of 1 903 concerning the Monroe Doctrine and the upbuilding of our Navy of United States.

Resolved, That we, members of the House of Representatives of the Sixty-third General Assembly of the State of Indiana, heartily commend and emphatically indorse the patriotic and American attitude of the administration of President Roosevelt, and with reference to the Monroe Doctrine we commend the dignified stand of our government in its treatment of the threatening Venezuelan complications, now, we trust, approaching a peaceful consummation. The American people as a whole stand committed to the enforcement and maintenance of the pronouncement originally promulgated by President Monroe, and the indorsement of this doctrine is not confined to any political party, nor hemmed in by state or sectional lines. But we view with even increasing anxiety the possibilities of the future. The European nations are constantly engaged in the absorption of every foot of so-called available soil. Africa has been taken, and the only really independent nation or the great continents of Asia, China, is in process of dismemberment. This fact, together with the overpopulous congested state of Europe, and the vast expanse of as yet comparatively unoccupied and extremely fertile lands in South America, constitute an almost irresistible inducement to European aggression. The American people are determined that the western hemisphere shall be reserved for the exploitation of republican institutions and forms of government.

The issue is thus squarely joined, and it argues for the Monroe doctrine, it must either be abandoned or fought for; that it will be fought for goes without saying. We, the members of the House of Representatives of the Sixty-third General Assembly, therefore respectfully and most earnestly urge our Senators and Representatives in Congress to further, both by voice and vote, the more rapid upbuilding of the navy of the United States, for . the navy of this day and age is the strength, the power and protection of this mighty republic The destiny of our republic depends in all future ages to come upon our navy, to the end that this arm of the nation may be placed in such a state of completeness and efficiency as to constitute an effectual bar to any aggressions should that be attempted. Resolved, That a copy of this Resolution be sent to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress.

M. W. Yencer is for a big Navy and sufficient army to protect our Republic. His policy which he advocated in 1903 has been clearly vindicated by our people and Government at this very hour, that we were in need of a mighty Navy for this World's War. Our Army can be increased to an efficiency in a very short time, but the Navy takes a long time. He solicits your support for the nomination at the Republican primary, next May.
